GAME START!

[For a kid who's pretty much constantly sauntering about shooting people creepy grins and running off their mouth, Chara seems fairly relaxed, this feed. Could be the fact that they're in the library. Or perhaps it's just a nice day outside.]

Would you like to play a game, fellow foot soldiers?

[Or maybe it's the fact that they're making a mildly off-kilter Saw joke, whatever.]

The past few weeks, I've noticed when talking to others that even the most unassuming words can have significantly different meaning; mark me curious. So here's the rules;

Each of us will have our turn in choosing a word. Perhaps this word has no real meaning to us, or perhaps it does.

The receiver of said word goes on to define it; either in a social...or personal context. Then they also pick a word to be defined. And thus the cycle continues until one of us gets bored.

[A bright smile, and the camera swings wildly askew as it's holder reaches over the side of the lounge for another book.]

I'll even start it off. Your word, is 'monster'.

There's still something more after the failure and loneliness.

[Her response is automatic, Maka smiles.]

A relative of courage and determination.

[...]

Do you want to stop? We can stop.

Chara, if you can imagine something terrible happening to a person beyond dying, it's happened to me. No, I'm not uncomfortable.

[The tone taken there was...strangely hard.]

I just need to be sure I'm not crossing your boundaries.

[Her frown deepens, eyes cast to the side and narrowed. Maka's not bothered by the laughing, no, that's just how Chara is. They're a very morbid child.

And...]


...Yeah. I figured.

[It's part of why she can't leave them alone. They're a damaged kid just like her, albeit carrying their respective trauma in different ways.]

I don't know what your life was like before, and you don't have to tell me, but...I understand.
soundmind: ([Older] ► Why bother?)

[personal profile] soundmind 2016-05-31 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[A shrug. They can say she's making large assumptions, and it's true their experiences probably don't match up exactly, and by and large it's always been a safe assumption for her that people have had worse experiences than her (how many people does she know with dead parents?)]

[A long time ago, when Maka was much younger, she would have tried to push on insisting that she can be confided in--only to be disappointed and worry something was lacking in her when turned down. That was a more childish Maka, one that feared secrecy so much due to her father's lies that being totally open had to be the only way to approach a friendship.

But it's not. There's a distance, an inner world, that needs to be respected. She's not about to intrude on Chara's. The video feed turns off.

Yet a line of text appears after the screen goes black:]
It was your turn next, but I have one last word for you: pudding.
